In the annals of musical theater, there are more than a few vast scores. Among them is Lerner and Loewe’s “Camelot” which has more than its portion of stout songs that shine away from the musical play.

In 1964, Jack Warner produced “My Comely Lady” at Warner Brothers. It was an advantageous film, if a bit too cautious. The play was a phenomenon and Jack didn’t want anyone mucking about with it. Going to survey it was almost as though-provoking as going to church, even though the film itself was curious and radiant to contemplate at.

Four years later, Warner attempted to do the same thing with “Camelot.” In many ways, he failed, but in a couple of others, he outshone “My Sparkling Lady” and many other blooming movie musicals. First, but not foremost, he enlisted the talents of John Truscott to earn the film. No medieval fable has ever benefitted from so glorious a vision. His sets and costumes are among the finest — yet most realistic — ever created. Second, and this is the best fraction (for me) — he acquired the services of the finest composer/conductor Hollywood has ever produced. Alfred Newman had already won 8 Academy Awards prior to scoring “Camelot.” Newman was one of a handful of composers who invented film scoring in the 1930s and 1940s. As head of the Fox music department from 1940-1959, Newman had the best orchestrators, best musicians and best composers working for him at Fox than could be found anywhere else.

For “Camelot,” Newman had a free hand, along with his associate Ken Darby who had worked with Newman for nearly 20 years, collaborating on such film musicals as “Carousel,” “The King and I” and “South Pacific.”

The reason I’m making such a fuss over this — in addition to the fact that “Camelot” earned Newman his 9th Oscar — is that “Camelot” rates as one of the best scored musicals in film history and on this DVD, you can hear the entire musical collect, free of dialogue and solo vocals, in 5.1CH stereo!

What separates “Camelot” from “My Dazzling Lady” is that in the latter, Warner would not let conductor Andre Previn alter the basic orchestrations of the play. Previn had some leeway, and it really shows in the bag when he cuts loose. By and mammoth, though, this did not include songs….fair musical underscore/transitions. Newman, on the other hand, virtually co-composed the entire derive. Using the thematic material, he wrote a dynamic, Erich-Wolfgang-Korngoldian (“Robin Hood,” “The Sea Hawk,” etc.) underscore that rouses you, thrills you and makes you feel stout even if the film drama itself can’t quite live up to it.

Watching a film for this isolated win feature alone is something only die-hard music lovers could tolerate, but it’s there and can be enjoyed by anyone. Judge of it as a full-orchestra karaoke feature and you can content your favortie songs backed by one of the finest Hollywood orchestras ever assembled!

I’ve always been partial to “Camelot” for the earn, the sets and the shiny presence of Vanessa Redgrave.

In truth, however, “Camelot” never looked as excellent in its first-run roadshow performances as it does on this DVD. This movie shimmers and sparkles and glows. It looks absolutely Recent. The sound does explain its age in spots.

If only Arthur didn’t rush around all the time calling Guinevere and Lancelot “Ginny” and “Lance.” (Lance. Ginny. Ginny. Lance.) . That almost ruins the film for me — that and Arthur’s eccentric blue witness shadow. And if only Hollywood had not entrusted another mountainous musical into the musically uninspired hands of Joshua Logan (one of Broadway’s greatest directors but whose heavy hand all but ruined the film versions of “South Pacific”, “Camelot” and “Paint Your Wagon.”)

It’s a whale of a movie. And the earn is one of the finest ever committed to film.

Yes, ‘Camelot’ is a flawed movie, but a MAGICAL one, nonetheless. It is too long, and Franco Nero’s dubbed singing mumble as ‘Lancelot’ is amusing, and YET! Yet, we have RICHARD HARRIS, so perfect as the failing King Arthur, Vanessa Redgrave, never lovelier than in her role as the torn Guinavere, and David Hemmings, a dastardly ‘mod’ Mordred reeking havoc on the skittish Kingdom. Franco Nero (dubbing notwithstanding) brings a extraordinary comedic touch to Lancelot, and with the sumptious sets and costumes, ‘Camelot’ really is a Fair film. It has been critisized for having a ‘Sixties’ feel to it, but the somewhat hippy-ish beget impartial adds to the pleasure; and it REALLY doesn’t matter that Richard Harris is wearing Plot to noteworthy blue eye-shadow – we’re in CAMELOT, for goodness sake! There may very well be a ‘legal limit to the snow’ there, but when it comes to make-up, no holds are barred! Oh, one can recall a MILLION holes in ‘Camelot’ – but why bother? It’s better impartial to pour yourself a glass of mead, light some candles, establish ‘Camelot’ in your VCR and let Lerner and Loewes astounding get sweep you into a magical time which never existed. ‘Camelot’ is pure escapism, but it’s escapism with ‘heart’, and that heart belongs to Richard Harris. This movie is HIS, and years after first seeing this movie, when I imagine the face of King Arthur, the face that I peep is Richard Harris’.
